What's in the blogosphere today? Pretty much nothing. Let's take a look. - Chuckie Hacks believes Tom Haudricourt was a little drunk at the time of his MVP vote. I have to admit that I do not agree with Tom's ballot, but his voting makes a certain amount of sense when hearing his explanation. Still...I cannot imagine Albert Pujols deserving a seventh place vote, much less Carlos Delgado coming in fourth. Yes, the same Carlos Delgado who some Mets fans hoped for his release at the end of the season. I understand he had a stellar September, but there is more baseball played than just September baseball.
- Bill James believes that Prince Fielder is the best player in the league that is 25-years old or younger. Ryan Braun checks in at number five, while the Brewers as a whole rank number sixth for their young talent. I wonder how those who believe Prince is not worth much on the open market will defend their view now, as Bill James is one of the most respected minds in baseball.
- Brew Crew Ball takes a look at the Fall/Winter League baseball games yesterday. Lorenzo Cain continues to soar, while Alcides Escobar has bounced back nicely from his slump earlier in the Winter League season. Alexandre Periard needs a hug.
- A newspaper in Maine wrote an article explaining how the Brewers must either put Mark Rogers on their big league roster or risk losing him in the Rule 5 draft next season. The Crew will likely take their chances with the Rule 5 draft. (h/t Brewerfan.net)
- Who was the worst pitcher in the Major Leagues last season? Jeff Suppan? Not even close. Tom Gorzelanny, Nate Robertson, and Brandon Backe all got votes from the Dugout Central staff. I vote Gorzelanny, simply because he was "the best young pitcher in the league" last season. Too bad Gorzelanny has been an arm injury waiting to happen all season.
- Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the Chicago Cubs are very close to re-signing Ryan Dempster with a four-year deal. So much for Dempster trying the open market like he promised. Most likely, that was a ploy that got the Cubs to add a fourth year to the contract.
